    So now they are all up in arms about the guy getting shot in Wisconsin. The NBA had a game cancelled tonight in protest. The police were trying to talk to this black guy when he wouldn't stop and was headed to his car. He pulled away from a cop and then reached in his car and got shot. WTF did he think would happen doing that? So now they are all butthurt and protesting. Always blame the cops.

    News report tonight stated he had a knife on the floor board of his vehicle.

    I feel sorry for the hard working business owners who had absolutely nothing to do with this but yet had everything they have worked for burned down...

    Absolutely ridiculous.

    We don't know what happened.

    We don't know about Blake, we don't know about the cop(s).

    We do know that the Kenosha PD has had an ongoing issue with use of force.

    We do know that the Kenosha PD has an ongoing issue with honesty and integrity.

    Kenosha PD accused of 'corruption, lies'

    What does the NBA have to do with incident? Why are sports so political now days it’s ridiculous.

    Sports is over rated.
    Players are stupidly overpaid.
    I hope the whole industry burns down because of this.

    It’s pathetic listening to news, TV, radio and entertainment types beg and plead for SPORTS to come back (then you follow the money trail,,,) they sound like thirsty ex girlfriends on the high side of 40 looking for a handout.

    Get used to those empty stadiums people. I’ve got better things to spend money on.

    According to the post above yours the guy had a knife on the floorboard of his car. That doesn't bother you? If I am being detained by the police I am sure not going to pull away and run to my car and reach in. You realize how many black people they stop that have firearms on them? I bet if you were a cop for 3 months your entire attitude would change.

    I don't know what happened, and neither do you nor anybody in the press. There are a lot of salient details missing.

    Remember Philando Castile?

    How about Michael Bell?

    How about Aaron Siler?

    In all cases the police lied in their intial reports. What about being a police officer is going to make me change my attitude about liars?

    But you're just as bad. Saying all those cops are suspect. That's just as bad as saying all blacks are crooks.

    9 out of 10 times these shootings are caused by people not complying with the instructions given to them. If someone with a gun tells you to not move or raise your hands... etc. All you've got to do is comply.

    Regardless. Burning another person's business is not a justified response. It's just an excuse to get "whitey."
